The TempestPerformance Dates: Wednesday 28th July – Saturday 31st July 2021
Performance Times: 7.45pm (plus an additional 2pm matinee on Sat 31st July) Performance Venue: Cannizaro Park (Wimbledon) On an isolated island, a magician plots revenge for their sibling's betrayal… A classic Shakespearean comedy about magic, betrayal, love and forgiveness, The Tempest is set on an island near Italy where Prospero, the one-time Duke of Milan, and his beautiful daughter, Miranda, live with a sprite called Ariel and a strange wild being called Caliban. Prospero conjures a violent storm, wrecking a ship carrying the current Duke, Antonio, onto the island. When Ferdinand, the heir of Naples goes missing, the stranded nobles venture into the depths of the island to search for him and discover more than they bargained for. When Ferdinand meets Miranda, events are set in motion that will change the lives of the island’s inhabitants forever. The beautiful setting of Cannizaro Park will once again provide us with a stunning backdrop for this year’s open-air performances (this year performed in the round with amplified sound). The Tempest will mark the 10th year of Mayhem’s popular summer tradition of bringing the Bard to South London. |
